Vibram Five-Fingured Shoes

I recently posted about my Vibram Five-Fingered Sprint shoes.  After wearing them for a while, I must confess that I absolutely LOVE them and am thinking about getting another pair.  I put them on within 10 to 15 of getting up in the morning and don't take them off until I either go to work or bed.

I wanted these shoes because I kind of thought I might be able to run (God knows why I thought that!)  Dr. Oz had them on his show and demonstrated how our ancestors ran for hours barefooted.  It looked doable to me.  I even thought it might be fun to train for a 5K-not going to do that.  Anyway I DO run in them.  I don't, and most likely won't,  ever do long distance running, but I do a lot of little sprints and I feel they benefit me in many ways.  The sprints vary in time from 30 seconds to 4 or 5 minutes. 

Who knew I would  EVER feel this way about running???  I sure didn't.

I can, I will!!
